After the war, the Imperial Capital began the work of reconstruction.
On the first day the Little Emperor held court after the war, he promulgated a series of laws that were completely different from before.
These were laws that were extremely beneficial to the people, and for a time, the Little Emperor's reputation reached its peak in the hearts of the people of the Imperial Capital.
Immediately after, came the conferment of official posts.
The Great General naturally remained unchanged, as there was nothing left to confer.
The Little Emperor had originally wanted to confer upon Kaede a position equal to the Great General, responsible for the order of the Imperial Capital, but this was refused by Kaede. According to Kaede, she wanted to rest.
Nahash had the same idea as Kaede. He had had this idea a long time ago, but firstly, he couldn't do it, and secondly, since Kaede had come to ask for his help, he could only choose to help.
However, Tatsumi, Wave, and Run stood out from under Esdeath and Kaede's command and became the darlings of the conferment.
As for Kurome and Akame, under Kaede's protection, Akame did not encounter any difficulties, and the two of them naturally followed Kaede.
Sister, why didn't you accept that official post? Akame was still a bit puzzled by Kaede's choice.
Why would I accept it? To look for trouble? Kaede said with a smile.
Sister, you worked so hard for the Empire for so long, and now that it's time to reap the rewards, you chose to give up. I don't quite understand... Akame was a bit distressed, unable to figure it out.
No, I never worked hard for the Empire, and what I wanted most has already been achieved. Kaede thought for a moment and said, What I wanted most was actually just for the three of us to be together.
Sister...
The reason I did all this was just to create an Empire that would satisfy you, and I thought, if you were satisfied, you would come back. However, just when I was about to succeed, you had already returned. As she said this, a smile appeared on Kaede's face.
Sister... I won't leave again. Akame's eyes were a bit unfocused and slightly blurry.
Mm. Kaede nodded. If Akame could have been by her side while she was doing all this, how good would that have been? Unfortunately, things are often not that perfect.
However, all in all, the situation was not bad.
Just at this moment, Kaede's body trembled, because she felt that her time in this world seemed to have come to an end, meaning she could now return.
Sister, what's wrong? Akame and Kurome couldn't help but ask as they looked at Kaede.
Uh, nothing... Kaede shook her head. At least for now, she shouldn't talk about those things, and even if she wanted to, she couldn't.
Then there was Boros, who after the war opened a restaurant in the Imperial Capital with his wife. Relying on their skills, business was quite good.
Moreover, people in the Imperial Capital knew Boros's identity, and no one dared to cause trouble at Boros's restaurant.
As for Mine, after the war, she also followed Tatsumi. Looking at Tatsumi's appearance, it seemed something had already happened.
Najenda finally surrendered, but her official post was no longer General, and she would likely never be a General for the rest of her life.
Leone eventually lost to Brat in that battle, and then Leone was knocked unconscious and tied up by Brat. In fact, Brat was just worried that Leone would rush into the battlefield and throw her life away, which is why he knocked Leone out.
Afterwards, Leone returned to the commoners. Leone, who had originally wanted to continue petty theft to get things for the poor, found that it was no longer necessary.
Looking in the direction of the Imperial Palace, Leone smiled. That Little Emperor was pretty good~ He actually really completed this heavy task.
Nahash had also bought a house in the Imperial Capital and held a wedding with Poney. The attendees were all people of high status: the original members of the Jaegers, as well as people from Kaede's side. What made Nahash happiest was that Cor and Guy also came, and it looked like the two of them had finally gotten together.
On the Night Raid side, only Lubbock and Chelsea remained.
Lubbock had come directly to Najenda's side in secret. He had originally wanted to take Najenda away, but in the end, Najenda did not leave with Lubbock. Instead, Lubbock stayed behind, staying by Najenda's side, continuing his journey of unrequited love.
In fact, how could Najenda not be aware of Lubbock's feelings? However, she also knew that she did not have much life left.
However, in the subsequent wars, Lubbock guarding Najenda with his life finally broke through Najenda's psychological defenses.
As for Chelsea, she left alone. Before leaving, she observed the situation in the Imperial Capital, and after confirming that the Little Emperor was not lying, she secretly killed the leader of the Revolutionary Army. Because judging by his appearance, he would definitely summon rebel armies and launch a rebellion, and Chelsea didn't want to see war break out again, so she did this. However, it didn't mean much to her.
Although she had met that leader, their relationship was not good; they were simply superior and subordinate.
After killing him, Chelsea opened a makeup shop in a small city and lived a stable life. After the subsequent war broke out, it did not affect Chelsea.
As for Sheele, she was still having a headache trying to correct her natural airheadedness, working as an assistant in Boros's restaurant.
Speaking of war, this was something everyone had anticipated; after all, such a big thing had happened in the Imperial Capital, so some people with ulterior motives launched a rebellion.
It can be said that smart people would not choose this path, because Budo was in the Imperial Capital, as well as Esdeath, and in the shadows, Kaede might also strike at any time. Only those Guys whose brains were clouded by greed would foolishly launch a rebellion.
The process of pacifying the war was also very simple. Run, Wave, Tatsumi, Esdeath, and Najenda were all given heavy responsibilities.
Among them, Najenda was ordered to stay by Esdeath's side, which was also to prevent Najenda from having ulterior motives. If Najenda wanted to escape, Esdeath would probably kill her directly.
The war did not come suddenly, and it ended quickly.
Tatsumi later successfully became a General and brought Mine back to his village to hold their wedding. As for his village, it was naturally saved by him.
After killing the last person, Esdeath stood in front of a mountain of corpses, looked at the sky, and the corners of her mouth suddenly curled up.
Now, I'm really a bit tired of this~
Meanwhile, Kaede had already returned to that pitch-black space, and the system's notification sounds kept coming into her ears.
